Louis' Story

When Louis’ aging parents moved to assisted living, they worried about who would care for their son, who has a developmental disability. Enable stepped in, partnering with the Eatontown Borough Council and the Affordable Housing Alliance to transform Louis’ family home into a group home.

With Enable’s help, Louis’ home was modified to include accessibility features including a lift and ramps in front and back, along with a whole house generator to ensure safety and power in case of an emergency. Some of Enable’s many volunteers helped with painting bedrooms and cleaning up the yard.

When the renovation was complete, Mayor Gerald Tarantolo welcomed Louis back to his home, describing him as a “fixture” in the borough. Louis now lives there with his new family: three male roommates. Enable continues to provide 24/7 care and support.
